BEFORE THEY WERE 'IDOLS:' Watch Top 24 Contestant Crystal Bowersox Sing To Her Baby Boy

‘Mama Sox’ sang lullabies before she belted out the hits!

24-year-old Elliston, Ohio native Crystal Bowersox dedicated her American Idol audition to her nine-month-old son Mason, and this precious video from September 2009 shows just how much she loves him.

If you’re a fan of the show, you’re probably not used to hearing Crystal’s softer side — hippy-fied ‘MamaSox’ is more apt to using her power pipes to belt out Janis Joplin — so this video is a rare treat.

Also check out a second video of this Season 9 front-runner jamming to india.arie’s ‘Video’ nearly two years ago. We completely agree with the video description, which reads, “The video quality is subpar at best, but the audio tells you all you need to know.”
